BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile telephone system and a mobile telephone terminal that can variably control the ringing mode of a destination mobile telephone terminal from a mobile telephone terminal on the outgoing side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A communication method in a conventional mobile phone terminal will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 shows a sequence from when a call is made from the caller side terminal until the callee senses an incoming call, performs off-hook, and establishes a call. When a caller inputs a telephone number to a caller side terminal to make a call, a SET UP (call setting message) is transmitted from the caller side terminal toward the network. The SET UP is transmitted to the receiver side terminal by relaying between the wireless base stations in the network. The receiver terminal that has received the SET UP transmits a CALL PROC (call setting acceptance message) as a response message to the network. The receiver side terminal that started ringer ringing by receiving SET UP transmits an ALERT (call message) to the network, and the wireless base station in the network that received the ALERT is directed to the sender side terminal. RBT (ringback tone) is transmitted with ALERT. When the callee detects the incoming call and off-hook is detected at the callee terminal, the callee terminal sends a CONNECT (response message) to the network, and CONNECT is relayed between the wireless base stations in the network. To reach the sender's terminal. When the caller side terminal receives CONNECT, a voice path connecting the caller side terminal and the callee side terminal is opened, and a call state is established.
[0003]
Next, FIG. 7 shows a sequence from a call to disconnection. When an on-hook by the called party is detected in the called party terminal, the called party terminal sends a DISC (disconnect message) to the network, and the DISC is relayed by the wireless base station in the network, and then the calling party side Reach the terminal. After that, the sender terminal that receives the DISC transmits a RELEASE (release message) to the network. The RELEASE reaches the receiver side terminal by relaying between the radio base stations in the network. The receiver terminal that has received the RELEASE transmits a RELEASE COMPLETE (release complete message) to the network, and then the call is normally disconnected by receiving the RELEASE COMPLETE of the sender terminal.
[0004]
In the conventional mobile telephone terminal as described above, a ringing mode at the time of incoming call is set by the callee, and the caller cannot change it by an operation from the caller side terminal. Therefore, if the callee cannot place vibration in the ringer mode when the callee has set the ringing mode of the callee's terminal to vibrator mode and the callee cannot detect vibration, the minimum volume of the ringer mode When the receiver's terminal is put in a bag or the like with the setting being set to "" and the ringtone cannot be recognized, there is a problem that the receiver cannot detect the incoming call.
[0005]
As a means for solving the above-described problem, a technique is known in which the caller side performs variable control of the ringing mode of the callee-side terminal to more reliably notify the callee of the incoming call. More specifically, if the caller does not respond after making a call by inputting the destination number from the caller side terminal, the caller presses a predetermined function button from the caller side terminal, When the caller continuously presses a predetermined number key to send a ringing change request to the called party terminal, and the receiving party terminal that has received the request changes the ringing mode to vibrator mode The ringer mode is changed to ringer mode, or when the ringer mode is set, the ringer volume is increased and the ringer is continued.
Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for variably controlling the ringing mode of a callee-side terminal based on INFO information issued by the caller-side terminal.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a control unit that controls the above-described units.
[0022]
Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a sequence when the caller changes the ringing of the callee terminal. When the caller changes the ringing of the callee terminal, first press the “#”, “6”, “9” buttons provided on the numeric keypad 141 in order, and then press the telephone number of the callee terminal. Finally, the call button in the function key 142 is pressed. Here, “#” indicates a ringing mode change. The next “6” indicates the ringing mode of the receiver side terminal, vibrator mode (“1”), no ringing (“2”), ringing volume level 1 to 4 of the receiver side terminal (respectively, “3-6” of the numeric keypad) )). The next “9” indicates the time (call disconnection time) from the start of ringing of the receiver side terminal until the ringing state is left and the call is disconnected (call disconnection time), where “1” is 1 second and “2” is 2 Second,... "9" corresponds to 9 seconds. That is, the above button operation changes the ringing mode of the receiving terminal to the ringer mode, and performs an incoming call notification to the called party at the maximum incoming volume.
[0023]
When a call from the caller side terminal is executed, the caller side terminal transmits a SET UP including UUI (user / user information). This UUI includes ringing type information of the called party's terminal specified by the caller at the time of calling operation, and the call disconnection time from the start of ringing until the call is disconnected by leaving the ringing.
[0024]
The receiver side terminal that received the SET UP including UUI sends CALL PROC to the sender side terminal, then changes the ring form to ringer mode according to the ring form information indicated by the UUI, and starts ringing at the maximum volume. To do. Thereafter, the callee terminal transmits ALERT, the call disconnection time included in the UUI is set in the timer 19, and the timer 19 is started.
[0025]
If the called party does not go off-hook and the call disconnection time elapses without the call being started, the called party's terminal sends a DISC containing the UUI, and the call connected with the calling party's terminal Disconnect. The UUI includes information related to the ringing state of the callee terminal, and the caller terminal that has received the information holds the telephone number of the callee terminal in the storage unit 13 and displays “callee ringing” on the display unit 15. The message “Medium” is output and the mobile phone enters a standby state. At this time, the caller side terminal can newly make a call to another terminal or receive a call from another terminal.
[0026]
If the off-hook by the called party is detected at the called party's terminal after the call disconnect time has expired, a voice message notifying that the outgoing call is being sent to the calling party's terminal is sent to the receiving speaker of the called party's terminal. Output and send SET UP including UUI to the sender terminal. This UUI includes information indicating that the ringing state of the receiver terminal has been stopped.
[0027]
The sender terminal that has received the SET UP including the UUI deletes the “calling destination ringing” message displayed on the display unit 15 and starts ringing. Thereafter, a call is made between the caller and the callee through the same processing as in FIG.
[0028]
Next, the operation in the case where an off-hook is detected in the receiver terminal before the call disconnection time elapses after the timer 19 is started will be described with reference to FIG.

[0029]
Next, when the caller's terminal is still ringing, it is no longer necessary for the caller to notify the caller, or the spatial limit that the callee can sense is completely exceeded. When the caller senses that the call is present at the place and determines that the incoming call notification is impossible, the caller may stop ringing the callee side terminal.
[0030]
A sequence for stopping ringing of the callee side terminal by the caller side terminal will be described with reference to FIG. The sequence until the called party terminal enters the ringing state and the message “calling destination ringing” is displayed on the display unit 15 of the calling party terminal is as shown in FIG. When the caller presses the “#”, “0”, and “0” buttons on the numeric keypad 141 in sequence while the message “calling destination ringing” is displayed on the caller side terminal, the caller side terminal is in a ringing state Send a SET UP containing UUI to the recipient's terminal at. This UUI includes information on a ringing stop instruction by the caller. The receiver terminal that has received the SET UP stops ringing according to the ring stop instruction information included in the UUI, and transitions to the standby state. At this time, the DISC to which the UUI including the ringing stop response is added is transmitted to the caller side terminal. The sender terminal that has received the DISC including the UUI deletes the “calling destination ringing” message on the display unit 15 and performs the normal disconnection process shown in FIG.
[0031]
Next, it is conceivable that the ringing of the callee terminal stops due to an erroneous operation of the callee or some accident during the ringing of the callee terminal. In such a case, the caller can make an inquiry about the ringing state of the callee terminal, and if the ringing is stopped, the ringing can be started again.
[0032]
A sequence for inquiring the state of the callee side terminal in the ringing state from the caller side terminal will be described with reference to FIG. The sequence until the called party terminal enters the ringing state and the message “calling destination ringing” is displayed on the display unit 15 of the calling party terminal is as shown in FIG. When the caller presses the “#”, “0”, and “1” buttons on the numeric keypad 141 while the “calling destination ringing” message is displayed on the caller side terminal, the caller side terminal is ringing. Send a SET UP including the UUI to the receiver side terminal. This UUI includes ringing setting information designated at the time of outgoing call, call disconnection time, and information related to a status inquiry. The receiver terminal that has received the SET UP transmits a DISC that does not include UUI information to the sender terminal when it is ringing. On the other hand, when the incoming ringing is stopped, the callee terminal sends a DISC including the UUI to the caller terminal, and at the same time, the ringing setting information indicated by the UUI added to the SET UP and the call disconnection time Resume ringing according to. The caller-side terminal that has received the DISC performs a call disconnection process while displaying “calling destination ringing”. The subsequent steps are the same as those after the call disconnection in the sequence shown in FIG.
